1 Corinthians 13

NEW JERUSALEM	NOVA VULGATA
1 Though I command languages both human and angelic -- if I speak without love, I am no more than agong booming or a cymbal clashing.	1 Si linguis hominum loquar et angelorum, caritatem au tem non habeam,factus sum velut aes sonans aut cymbalum tinniens.
2 And though I have the power of prophecy, to penetrate al mysteries and knowledge, and though Ihave all the faith necessary to move mountains -- if I am without love, I am nothing.	2 Et si habuero prophetiam et noverim mysteria omnia et omnem scientiam, et sihabuero omnem fidem, ita ut montes transferam, caritatem autem non habuero,nihil sum.
3 Though I should give away to the poor al that I possess, and even give up my body to be burned -- if Iam without love, it wil do me no good whatever.	3 Et si distribuero in cibos omnes facultates meas et si tradidero corpus meum,ut glorier, caritatem autem non habuero, nihil mihi prodest.
4 Love is always patient and kind; love is never jealous; love is not boastful or conceited,	4 Caritas patiens est, benigna est caritas, non aemulatur, non agit superbe, noninflatur,
5 it is never rude and never seeks its own advantage, it does not take offence or store up grievances.	5 non est ambitiosa, non quaerit, quae sua sunt, non irritatur, noncogitat malum,
6 Love does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but finds its joy in the truth.	6 non gaudet super iniquitatem, congaudet autem veritati;
7 It is always ready to make al owances, to trust, to hope and to endure whatever comes.	7 omniasuffert, omnia credit, omnia sperat, omnia sustinet.
8 Love never comes to an end. But if there are prophecies, they will be done away with; if tongues, theywil fall silent; and if knowledge, it wil be done away with.	8 Caritas numquam excidit. Sive prophetiae, evacuabuntur; sive linguae,cessabunt; sive scientia, destruetur.
9 For we know only imperfectly, and we prophesy imperfectly;	9 Ex parte enim cognoscimus et ex parteprophetamus;
10 but once perfection comes, al imperfect things wil be done away with.	10 cum autem venerit, quod perfectum est, evacuabitur, quod exparte est.
11 When I was a child, I used to talk like a child, and see things as a child does, and think like a child;but now that I have become an adult, I have finished with al childish ways.	11 Cum essem parvulus, loquebar ut parvulus, sapiebam ut parvulus,cogitabam ut parvulus; quando factus sum vir, evacuavi, quae erant parvuli.
12 Now we see only reflections in a mirror, mere riddles, but then we shal be seeing face to face. Now Ican know only imperfectly; but then I shal know just as fully as I am myself known.	12 Videmus enim nunc per speculum in aenigmate, tunc autem facie ad faciem; nunccognosco ex parte, tunc autem cognoscam, sicut et cognitus sum.
13 As it is, these remain: faith, hope and love, the three of them; and the greatest of them is love.	13 Nunc autem manet fides, spes, caritas, tria haec; maior autem ex his estcaritas.
